Issue 6 of the Sufi Journal bridges the inner life of the heart with the historical legacy of Persian Sufism. In his discourse, Dr. Javad Nurbakhsh compares Sufism with psychoanalysis, showing how the Sufi path of sincerity and transformation differs from modern psychology. Articles turn to Fitzgerald’s Persian teacher and the Kobrawiya order, while stories of saints, sight, and parables bring Sufi tradition alive. The poetry section includes reflections on shrines, paradox, guidance, and divine intoxication. The issue closes with news on the opening of the first Nimatullahi Center in Africa and a major London conference on the enduring legacy of medieval Persian Sufism.
